For the forecast:
Unsettled conditions this am, with more cloud developing as the weak ridge is pushed out by the next frontal band moving down the coast. The FL should hover around 1000 meters with light snowfall in the afternoon and overnight. By Wednesday evening the front will be replaced by unsettled weather as a high pressure aloft settles in until Thursday. Another weak front is expected by Friday. Long range models are looking at a large surface high establishing itself in the area next week with much cooler temperatures. More on that as we get closer. Guesstimate: 4-8 cm by Wednesday morning.
High pressure for early Tuesday morning.
Weak front Tuesday evening into Wednesday afternoon.
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Strong low to the North sending cloud our way late Tuesday into Wednesday.
